Long time lurker in WAYWT. First time poaster so take it easy. Its not such a good picture, si ill take better ones next time. Suit is dark greyWarning: Spoiler!(Click to show)

The brightness and design of the tie aside, I think the double windsor is appropriate for the width of the english spread collar of your shirt. A smaller knot would be overwhelmed by the wide gap between the collar points.

I think the european style is a little underrepresented on this forum, and I believe you're one of the few I've seen on here that has pulled off a double windsor with a wide english spread collar pretty well. Also, your suit appears incredibly slimming, while still providing for a relatively relaxed fit, avoiding that dreaded sausage squeeze effect that occurs when attempting to achieve that slim-fit-tailored/Tom Ford look.

Too much shoulder. The knot is too big for approval here. Pants too long, but you know that. Not a fan of the cut of this jacket, but that is a personal choice. You are a slim guy, I think a slimmer all around look would suit you better.

- Pants are too long, but you know that
- Tie knot is tremendous, try getting a better dimple and doing a FIH.
- Not enough contrast between pants and SC. Probably would have been better with a blue shirt too.

Your thoughts?

Thank you for the feedback, this is all a learning experience for me.

The easy things to fix seem to be no more double windsor knots and fewer patterns.

When you say there is too much shoulder, does that mean there is too much padding making my shoulders too square or that the shoulders are extending passed my natural shoulder too far? If it's the latter, how far should they extend?

What do you mean by opening up the quarters? This isactually an MTM SC that i had done about a year ago so it shouldn't be any trouble getting it altered. I think I will also have it taken a bit, I have lost weight since I had it made.
